U+7BA8 "箨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+7BA8 "箨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to the sheath or outer covering of bamboo shoots, often called bamboo shoot husks or sheaths. In classical and modern Chinese usage, this ideograph appears in botanical contexts to describe the protective leaf-like layers that encase young bamboo shoots as they emerge from the ground. It is part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is composed of the bamboo radical (⺮) combined with a phonetic component, reflecting its connection to bamboo growth and morphology.
